Sony SSCS5 -Excellent Speakers, Amazing Sound!
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: Snake
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased these nice small bookshelf speakers as my main speakers to replace my 19 y/old Panasonic 2-way set and pair them with my TEAC AG-V1050 Stereo Receiver and they sounds amazing! I got them for $74.99 (Holiday's Specials) even better!
I'm an old school audiophile and I wanted to keep my music system pretty simple without spending a lot of money and after some research I found the Sony SSCS5 a perfect option.
I play CDs, Vinyls and some mp3 tracks and all formats sounds great on the speakers. The highs are so crisp and the mids are pretty clear, the bass is NOT heavy but neither weak, it just required me to find the right positioning, about 2 feet from the floor and away from the wall so the air port in the back of the speakers have enough room to breathe, plus some eq adjustments to my amp to find the right balance and wow, I was surprised with the amazing sound of these little boys, they're pretty loud and clear and the bass is just perfect for my taste. Just keep in mind that if you're a shaking-booming bass lover, you will definitely need an extra powered subwoofer, not in my case.
Another thing that I noticed is that the sound improves after a few days (a month) of use, probably needed to develop their maximum potential and performance.
I'm so happy with my new Sony SSCS5 speakers!!

I remember watching this movie when it came out and I ended a little confused at the ending, I wanted to watch it again to find the missing dots and I founded it at BB for the lowest price ever. I did watch it twice already and I love it. Great plot, excellent actors, awesome movie.

Excellent 4K/HDR Pass-Through HDMI Switch!
on December 13, 2020
Posted by: Snake
Verified Purchase:Yes
Hardly needed a solution to hook up my Apple TV4K streamer and my 4K Ultra-UHD Sony Blu-ray player to my new JBL 9.1 ATMOS Sound bar system which I love but unfortunately it comes with only one HDMI input and my tv lacks the eARC capability, so after trying a couple cheaper models, I found this Insignia HDMI switch and it really does the job. It's a plug 'n play device so it was really easy to connect it to my Soundbar. Perfectly transfer 4K HDR and Dolby Vision video signals to my TV through my Soundbar and I can enjoy Dolby ATMOS and DTH:X multichannel audio from both players. Doesn't come with a remote, which personally I don't find necessary because I have to reach my TV stand when I want to play a movie on my Blue-ray player then I change the input right after I'm done and it stays switched to the last selection (I usually keep it switched to my Apple 4KTV).
No "Handshake" issues at all, but *NOTE* that it takes a couple seconds to the AV system and TV to receive signals when you change inputs, something pretty normal according to my researches.
Cons: None at the moment.
I've been using it every day in over a month without a problem.

This is my second streamer device, I have an Apple TV 4K in my home theater living room, which I'm so happy with. I wanted another streamer device for my bedroom without spending too much so, I found this one as my best choice and it's great, user friendly and affordable. Set up was easy and quick with not issues at all. Note that it connects over wi-fi (no ethernet port) so make sure you have a strong wi-fi signal.
Conveniently able to access Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Vudu and tons of free streaming apps!

Only Con I would mention is that the remote doesn't have a power or sleep button, neither a volume button so you have have to control those two functions with your TV remote. Not a deal breaker for me since I use just the TV remote to control my Sound bar and Blue-ray player, otherwise I'm happy with it!

I did a lot of quality and price research before I decided to try this Shark vacuum and I really like it!
It’s light, easy to maneuver, easy to clean and it does a great job on carpets and hard floor. I agree with some reviews that the canister won’t stand up on its own and the hose is kinda short, also, I would like a longer angled attachment for corners cleaning but overall I love it and I'm happy with it. I will buy it again.

One of my favorite recent movies. I've seen this movie so many times over streaming services and I always get really excited like if it's the first time.
I have read some bad reviews about this movie and I realized that most people refer to it as "A Bad Zombie Movie" or "Another Zombie Flick", personally I don't think this movie was intended to be another Z movie at all, since the "Zombies" are basically man/monsters results of experiments to create a super army to kill/defeat their enemies, Zombies kills to feed.
It starts out with a lot of action and then goes into character and plot development, more action and then the beast/monsters surprise, a typical J.J. Abrams movie. In my opinion this is a war flick with a dark touch.
It's awesome, I got this 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition at a great price on Black Friday and the visual and sound quality is super amazing!
I'll watch it over and over again!!!

The Matrix Trilogy is definitely one of the best movie franchise in the sci-fi world. Not to review the movies themselves here but the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition.
Having already owned the DVD version of the trilogy, I finally got the 4K Ultra HD and WOW! the crisp definition of these movies is absolutely fantastic in 4k HDR and the ATMOS sound mix is superb, sounds amazing in my new JBL 9.1 ATMOS sound bar.
I'm so happy to add this 4K Ultra HD blu-ray collection to my library. Got it at the perfect time at the the best price.

This is a great movie! It's really funny and it has a lot of action, it has a nice story that is focused and makes sense.
The soundtrack is awesome with tons of great rock and pop classics that are well played during the whole film that makes me watching it more enjoyable, besides this 4k Ultra HD BR version with exceptional quality picture and Dolby ATMOS is awesome!
If you're a long-time fan, you won't be disappointed!

**UPDATE: Handshake issues with JBL 9.1 ATMOS S.B.
January 28, 2021
Ok so, this is an update to my previous review. The Ingsinia 3-port HDMI Switch did work with no issues for the first couple months that I used it to hook up my APTV4K and my Sony UBP-X-700 4K Blue-ray player to my JBL 9.1 ATMOS Sound bar.
Now I want to clarify that I don't think this is an issue with the switch itself, I think this is a problem with JBL 9.1 ATMOS soundbar, after I started experiencing Handshake issues between the APTV4K and my 4K Blue-ray palyer sonnected to the sound bar through the switch, I tested the switch connected to a one of the 4K HDMI ports in my Sony X900F tv for a week or so and I didn't have any handshake problems betweek both media players, the TV recognized the device that was on, either the APTV4K or the Blue-ray player and it work perfectly, unfortunately this didn't help me because I couldn't get the ATMOS sound effects, main reason why I got the soundbar.
I did a lot of research trying to find some information about it, before I returned the Switch, but it seems that nobody have used it the with the JBL 9.1 ATMOS bar so, any input will be appreciated, otherwise "JLB 9.1 ATMOS Soundbar Owners, be advise that it won't work properly."

Upgrade your home theater with this JBL BAR 9.1-channel soundbar system. The powerful 820W output offers an immersive movie and music experience, while Bluetooth, Airplay 2 and Chromecast connectivity lets you stream audio smoothly. This JBL BAR 9.1-channel soundbar system has detachable speakers with rechargeable batteries for flexible placement, and Dolby Atmos technology delivers quality surround sound.
Can the JBL 9.1 be directly connected to the back of an Apple 4K TV box and will that setup allow for Dolby Atmos to be decoced?
Absolutely! That's how I have my set up: Apple TV 4K to the HDMI IN of the JBL 9.1 and HDMI Out from the JBL 9.1 to the ARC/eARC HDMI IN of your TV.
Don't forget that you have to change the audio format to Dolby ATMOS on the Apple TV 4K. I hope this help.

Would like the rear speakers in the rear of my room . i Know they have a charging port what voltage cubes chargers to plug into Them do i need. Will rapid phone chargers work or should it be the slow charger. Or what charger would you Recommend THANK YOU
A Fast Charger will work but you don't really need that, any standard charger block will supply enough power. I'm using a couple of extra standard iPhone blocks and they keeps my rear surround speakers charged all the time.
